This exoplanet is 19 times more massive than Jupiter and is located about 40 light-years away from us.
, the world's most powerful space telescope, has been providing us with breathtaking views of the universe and continues to make astounding discoveries one after the other.
“The finer silicate grains in its atmosphere may be more like tiny particles in smoke. The larger grains might be more like very hot, very small sand particles,” said co-author Beth Biller of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland in aThis distant planet’s atmosphere is “constantly rising, mixing, and moving” throughout the day, which lasts up to 22 hours. Webb found that the temperatures can reach 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit in the atmosphere, where silicate clouds are constantly churning.
The observations also show clear detections of water, methane, and carbon monoxide and evidence of carbon dioxide in the exoplanet's atmosphere. This is the first time the telescope has discovered so many molecules simultaneously.
